Challenge to Florida stripper age law dropped
After a federal appeals court last month upheld similar restrictions in Jacksonville, plaintiffs have dropped a challenge to a Florida law that prevents strippers under age 21 from performing in adult-entertainment establishments. Attorneys for two clubs, a dancer and an adult retail store filed a notice Tuesday in federal court in Tallahassee dismissing the lawsuit, which challenged the law on First Amendment grounds. U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor issued an order Wednesday closing the case. The notice of dismissal did not explain the reasons, but attorneys for the plaintiffs filed a court document May 7 that pointed to a decision last month by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That decision upheld the constitutionality of a Jacksonville ordinance that bars dancers under age 21 in strip clubs. The May 7 document said the Jacksonville ordinance 'was very similar to the (state) statute challenged in this proceeding. In particular both laws prohibit the employment of persons under the age of 21 in exotic dance establishments.' It also said the plaintiffs in the Jacksonville case did not plan to seek a rehearing or to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. 'Accordingly, the decision issued by the Eleventh Circuit on April 23, 2025 is likely to be a final decision and precedential within this circuit,' the May 7 document said. Lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis last year overwhelmingly approved the age restriction, with supporters saying it was aimed at combatting human trafficking. The lawsuit was filed in July by operators of Cafe Risque, an establishment in Alachua County; operators of Sinsations, an establishment in Jacksonville; Serenity Michelle Bushey, a dancer who performed at Cafe Risque but was barred by the law from working there because she was under 21; and Exotic Fantasies, Inc., which operates a retail store in Jacksonville. The lawsuit said the Legislature did not 'consider any alternative forms of regulation which would burden First Amendment rights less severely; that is, the Legislature made no effort to solicit information in support of a more narrowly tailored law.' Also, it said the state had not shown a connection between human trafficking and adult-entertainment establishments. Winsor in December put the case on hold while the Atlanta-based appeals court considered the Jacksonville ordinance. In the May 7 filing, attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote that operators of Cafe Risque and Sinsations and Bushey 'are similarly situated to the litigants in (the Jacksonville case); to-wit: they are either performers or establishments utilizing performers to provide exotic dance entertainment.' But the document appeared to leave open the possibility that Exotic Fantasies, the retail store, could continue to challenge the law. 'Exotic Fantasies has alleged that the Legislature considered adverse secondary effects in connection with exotic dance clubs but did not consider any evidence linking adult retail stores to human trafficking or other adverse secondary effects,' the May 7 document said. 'Exotic Fantasies has also alleged that, as a matter of empirical fact, there is no basis to conclude that adult retail stores with no on-premises entertainment are linked in any way with human trafficking.' But the notice of dismissal Tuesday included all of the plaintiffs. It was filed 'without prejudice,' a legal term that leaves open the possibility that a challenge could be re-filed.

‘It's horrific' people slam Bonnie Blue as she promotes latest ‘disgusting' stunt which is touring the UK from 15th May
BONNIE Blue has promoted her latest 'disgusting' stunt and it's left people horrified. The controversial OnlyFans model, 25, has caused viewers to be gobsmacked once again, as many questioned 'how is this legal?' after she revealed her plans for a 'dogging tour' of the UK. 7 7 7 7 Bonnie, who was recently in Cancún where she bedded hundreds of young freshers, how now shared the plan for her next shocking sex stunt - which will involve her visiting six parts of the UK for public and/or semi-public sexual acts. The creator, who previously sent shockwaves through the country after she bedded more than 1,000 blokes in one day, will kick off the tour in just eight days time. Bonnie, who previously claimed to be pregnant and has been branded "predatory" for romping with teenage lads, will begin the sex stunt tour in Bradford on 15th May. For the six consecutive days, Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, will visit other UK cities, including Birmingham on 16th May. By 17th May she will be in Skegness, 'Britain's worst seaside town', and she'll then head to Swansea on 18th May. To finish off the tour, the adult creator, who grew up in Nottinghamshire and once wanted to be a midwife, will head to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Bonnie, who ditched her 9 to 5 to become a cam girl and was recently banned by a Premier League football club, will then meet fans in Glasgow on 19th May and engage in sexual acts in Belfast for the final day of the tour on 20th May. The shocking poster promoting the UK tour has circulated the internet and left many in disbelief. Social media users were horrified by Bonnie's plans and not only did people accuse Bonnie of being 'possessed' and slam her as 'gross', but others questioned how her actions are legal. One person asked: 'What has the world come to?' Bonnie Blue labelled 'vile, sad & fame-hungry' as sex-filled Spring Break kicks off, and she's targeting girls next Another added: "It's horrific. We have to stop this.' A third commented: 'It's disgusting she has a platform on Insta.' Meanwhile, someone else claimed: 'She has a serious problem.' Whilst one user asked: 'How is this legal?', another slammed: 'This should be illegal. 'No wonder our world is so f****d when s**t like this is happening and it's celebrated by many.' Who is Bonnie Blue? Born in May 1999, Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Billinger - grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre. She has two half-siblings - a sister and a brother - who have always remained out of the public eye. She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad. Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015. She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager. After school, she began working in recruitment. In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15. Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment. However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a 'cam girl' - crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world. She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week. But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together. She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there. She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her "niche" of sleeping with young male students - such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University's freshers week in September 2024. Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans. Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she's her daughter's PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie's events - as well as handing out condoms to young clients. In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event. Bedding 1,057 men in 12 hours But this isn't the first time - and we're sure it won't be the last - that Bonnie has left people open-mouthed with her shocking sex stunts. The blonde bombshell, who was banned from entering Australia where she planned to romp with teen school leavers, previously slept with over 1,000 men in just one day in a jaw-dropping sex marathon, which left her covered in painful bruises and bite marks. 7 In a shocking clip posted on Bonnie's official YouTube account, the sex worker was joined by 27-year-old Josh Lee Spooner, a documentary maker and photographer with 15,900 followers on Instagram. Alongside the video, Bonnie penned: 'Thank you to all the dads, sons, grandads and husbands that helped make this possible.' When discussing sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours, Bonnie shockingly admitted: 'A number I am very proud of.' And it's not just her that is "proud" of her record break, as she added: 'You'll think I'm joking, my family are so proud of what I do.' What is OnlyFans? OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London. As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators. Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up. Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform. "Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states. For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest. It isn't limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians. And despite the toll the sex marathon took on her body, the OnlyFans creator shared: 'I say to them all the time - the dads, the husbands, the students - leave your mark on me. Bite me, make me yours for that amount of time.' Shamelessly, she claimed: 'I enjoy it, when they've left marks, whether it's hand prints, bite marks, bruises. 'I'm ok with that, I quite like it. It's a bit of a turn on actually." 'Aware of the risks' Bonnie also left the country gobsmacked when she boasted about risking catching HIV. She previously told Daily Mail that although she has never contracted an STI, she is ' aware of the risks '. 7 The former corporate worker explained: 'I'm aware that with the amount of people I am sleeping with, I need to be tested regularly. "I'm aware of the risks. HIV is the big one and I still choose to do it." But Bonnie, who has sparked outrage on numerous occasions, with furious This Morning viewers flooding to Ofcom with hundreds of complaints following her appearance in a daytime interview, isn't bothered by what haters say or think about her. The influencer, who bedded 158 male students during Nottingham Trent University's "freshers" fortnight ', also responded to claims that she is a bad role model. She "wouldn't say I am a bad role model" and claimed to "speak about consent and the fact that sex should be about enjoyment." As well as this, Bonnie, who has a net worth hovering around £3 million, was eager to prove that she does have self respect, as she snapped: 'People think I've got no respect for myself, but I've never had more respect for myself in my life.' The blonde also got candid on future plans, as she admitted: 'I'd like to do an event like this every four to six weeks.'
